Pastrami sandwiches, smoked meats, and classic deli fare
"A cross between a Texas barbecue joint and an East Coast deli, Windsor Park’s Mum Foods smokes its own brisket, pastrami, and turkey, giving each sandwich serious depth. Go simple with egg salad or smoked chicken salad, or go big with the Rachel, which is piled high with slaw, Swiss, and Russian dressing. This deli started at farmers’ markets and hasn’t lost its homegrown roots since moving to its own brick-and-mortar, earning a Michelin recommendation in 2024. Deliveries are offered through DoorDash, Grubhub, Seamless, or Toast Local are available." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The farmers market smoked meats stand opened its physical deli, focused on its well-crafted barbecue in the Pecan Springs-Springdale neighborhood. This means pastrami a la carte or within sandwiches (plus the option of a brioche made with beef tallow), brisket (naturally), turkey breast, and much more. Owner Geoff Ellis is also a James Beard semifinalist this year. Service style: counter-service with indoor and outdoor dine-in areas; takeout and delivery orders can be placed orders can be placed online or in person; there are DoorDash deliveries. Days and hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. until everything is sold out (typically 3 p.m.) Line situation: Medium — expect to wait less than an hour. Recommended orders: brisket, pastrami, matzo ball soup (yes), smoked turkey salad, and the pastrami sandwich." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
